garage sale art

sophisticate your junk! cheap arty finds...
$1 each!

$5!

The girls. I have been carrying these around for years $1 each in an antique shop in katoomba, the frames are one of the few new things I own at $5 each from the bargain bin at Target, I can't believe I paid that!

this would have to be one of my FAVOURITE things - next to Marc and Casper of course. My Mum bought this at an auction and I scored it the minute she decided it didn't suit her house, had to work fast before my sister Tan stepped in....Thanks Pammy!, you know you are never getting it back right?

Indonesian TV cabinet

Everyones got a bit of that indo reproduction furniture hanging a round somewhere, I acquired this one from my neighbour (they have been throwing alot of stuff out! Thanks Ken and Pam!) and gave it a paint job and some new knobs (all FOUND of course!)...

FOUND! storage chests, who would throw these out you can do anything with them!

The Nest

Today I found this adorable little nest, It was laying on the ground in the front garden, I keep telling myself the baby birds have grown up and flown away, they no longer need the nest - this way I don't feel guilty about framing it....
